And to be honest, it really isn’t a “new” thing either. People have been doing the gender bender naming thing for the longest, just not as much. For example, these celebs with older kids:

Diane Keaton’s daughter is named Dexter

Teri Hathcher’s daughter is called Emerson

Michelle Branch‘s daughter is Owen

Melissa Etheridge’s daughter is named Johnnie

Rebecca Romijn‘s dauhter is Charlie

Angie Harmon is a rebel all three of her daughters have male names; Avery, Finley and Emery

On the flip side, there are a few who’ve had boys and given them names uniquely associated with girls, mostly, in the US anyway: Alicia Keys’ son is Genesis and Shakira named her second son Sasha.

It’s all creative and represent this new era where gender is often debated and people are trying to break traditional stereotypes and notions tied to gender.
